“He was quizzed in the first half of the day on Wednesday. We don’t require his further interrogation as of now but he may be called as and when required for the investigation,” an officer said.

The complaint, alleging a bribery case, was lodged by then ACB SP Bosco George who had conducted a preliminary inquiry in the case. The IPS officer had come under the scanner following allegation that he accepted bribe from the PSI for closing a departmental enquiry against her.

A month before the FIR was registered, the State government had relieved Gupta from the post of DIG. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had said the IPS officer was relieved because of his ‘not so good activities’.
